The bitcoin network is SLOW if you need to get your money out it'll cost you $20-30 to get it to the exchange from your wallet in the lightning speed time of 30-50 minutes.

That is based on the current transaction rate, a run would cause a spike in transaction cost. If a run happens then enjoy the ride as you probably aren't getting your money out of that network.
